    The document contains two assignments related to hydropower engineering. The first assignment involves plotting the hydrograph of weekly river flows and the flow duration curve. It also includes calculating the power developed per cubic meter, maximum power, average power, and total energy produced over 26 weeks. The second assignment provides daily river flows for a week and calculates the required capacity of a pond to provide uniform output, as well as the weekly energy output from the plant.

    B Determine the power that can be developed per m 3, the maximum power, average power and total energ
    during 26 weeks.
    I/ the power developed per m3
    For Q = 300m3/sec , volume = 300*7*24*3600 = 181.44Mm 3, the power developed is eq
    P = 125.1MW. So for 1m3 of volume, the value of power is 0.69W.
    II/ The maximum power
    Pmax = 0.417*Qmax = 0.417*1200 = 500.4MW
    III/ The average power
    Pave is the power corresponding to 50% time exceedance
    Pave = 375.3MW (from the above table)
    IV/ Total energy out put during 26 weeks
    Etot = Pave * t = 375.3*103*26*7*24 = 163.93*107 KWh

    2 Given
    day flow(m3/sec H = 20m
    su 26 η = 80%
    man 35 Max allowble fluctuation of pond level is 1m
    tus 40 Plant works for 6 days in aweek.
    wed 50 Required
    thu 45 I/ The capacity of the pond required to give a maximum uniform out pu
    fri 40 II/ The weekly energy out put from the plant
    sat 30

    Solution
    I/ The capacity of the pond required to give a maximum uniform out put
    Day flow Q(m3/sec) Vol.(Mm3) commu.vol(Mm3) Demand(Mm3)

    fri 40 3.456 20.3904 19.6992
    sat 30 2.592 22.9824 22.9824

    There fore, the capacity of pond required = max negative balance volume + max positive balance volume, with out c
    Vpond = 1.296 + 0.6912 = 1.998 Mm3 ≈ 2 Mm3
    II/ The weekly out put
    P = ηγQH but H = (20+19)/2 = 19.5 m
    uniform draw off, Q = 22.9824*106/(7*24*3600) = 38m3/sec
    Average flow = 38*7/6 = 44.3m3/sec
    P = ηγQH = .80*9.81*44.3*19.5 = 6779.5KW
    Energy = P * t = 6779.5 * 6*24 = 976248 KWh
